Global Stability - Economic As

For America, The Chief Geopolitical Prize Is Eurasia... Now A Non-eurasian Power Is Preeminent In Eurasia - And America's Global Primacy Is Directly Dependent On How Long And How Effectively Its Preponderance On The Eurasian Continent Is Sustained.

Today We Are In A Situation In Which The Free Movement Of People Can Have Enormous, Monumental Dimensions, And I Don't Think That Any Country In Western Europe Or In America Can Any Longer Adopt The Idea Of Totally Free Movement Of People. I T Would Simply Overwhelm Their Social Facilities, Their Societies And Create Migratory Dynamics On The Scales Of Tens And Tens Of Millions Of People. That Simply Is Not Practical.

The Eastern Europeans Invested Too Many Of Their Hopes In The Notion That Somehow Or Other The Missile Shield, Even If Directed At Iran, Would Reinforce Their Security Links With The U.s. Vis-à-vis Russia.

But If Russia Is To Be Part Of This Larger Zone Of Peace It Cannot Bring Into It Its Imperial Baggage. It Cannot Bring Into It A Policy Of Genocide Against The Chechens, And Cannot Kill Journalists, And It Cannot Repress The Mass Media.

I Think The Us Has The Right To Have Its Own National Security Policy. I Think Most Americans Would Agree With That. And Therefore Clarity On This Issue Is Important And Especially If We Commit Ourselves, Explicitly And Bindingly, To Israel's Security.
